...
Kael glanced at the game panel's log flooded with messages, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
A series of attacks against the outer Corrupted Tree-men directly added 40 points to Kael's "Water Gun Shock" Skill Experience Points, and 20 points to "Freezing Aura" Skill Experience Points.
And the level experience bar went from [Magician LV2 (0/2500)] to [Magician LV2 (1222/2500)].
The progress bar had directly passed the halfway mark!
It had to be said, the way players leveled up was indeed unique.
If their attributes were not harder to grow through self-training compared to NPCs, this game would not have lasted ten years, players would have been the dominators of the world within one or two years.
Kael was extremely satisfied with his execution of the mid-air waltz.
At this stage, how many peers could match Kael's combat skills?
Count them all, how many natives could match Kael's natural advantage?
Never underestimate the gold content of a professional player!
Even among the Longevity Species in "Dungeon Gate," how many could risk their lives to skyrocket their combat experience?
Not to mention the countless dungeon raids and wipes players had endured to cope with the complex and variable dungeons.
The average Paradox Interactive player, J-level war criminal.
The road to top-tier gameplay was paved with the corpses of countless players, and a significant portion of the top players became professional e-sports players, engaging in even more brutal fights on the global stage.
Under such fierce competition, most people remained anonymous ordinary players, how many names could be remembered, and how many could ensure entry into the global league?
Top-tier battle instincts and operation skills, coupled with high-frequency training combat.
Any professional player who entered the global league was a monster among monsters.
When Kael was still called Ning Ruyu, he and his club[Strange Power Chaos God]'s boss, a top-rich second generation with enormous financial backing, were jokingly called "worse than pigs and dogs" by numerous netizens.
The two were known as the Champion Wall.
It was because only the core players from clubs that had won championships in "Dungeon Gate" had a good chance of beating them.
But the chances for other relatively ordinary players to win against them were slim.
They might even be completely crushed.
Not great but not terrible in comparison.
As a result, Ning Ruyu's haters would always praise them by saying "only the champion core can beat them" before showing their true colors...
And when they encountered a strong team version in the global league and sharply lost, they would immediately curse, "When will Strange Power Chaos God die, really just sending Phantom Gods to the world championships."
Ahem, such bad memories were better left unspoken.
After all, in e-sports, being weak was the original sin, for many championship fans, if you won it was "World No. 1 法," if you lost badly, your nationality was gone.
Enjoying glory automatically meant bearing the weight of expectations and abuse, this was the fate of all professional players.
But even if the president + financial backer of [Strange Power Chaos God], "God of Wealth is Arriving", recognized as one of the top-tier players but also considered the biggest faux pas among top-tier players, it depended on who he was compared with.
Compared to the few monsters at the top of esports, there were certainly noticeable differences.
But if compared to first-tier players, crushing them was a common occurrence.
Not to mention the other extreme of the Champion Wall, Ning Ruyu.
His skills weren't actually a problem, it was more about the inherent shortcomings of the combat system based on Magic Silk Thread he developed.
Not being one of the first players to enter "Dungeon Gate," it was hard to compete against those professional clubs who started strong and snowballed from the very beginning of the game.
But at this stage, among the natives of his age in "Dungeon Gate," purely in terms of combat skills, Kael could completely dominate them, begging them not to die.
"At the current rate, when the closed beta ends and the official release starts, I'll be able to outpace other players by a huge margin!"
He thought to himself, casually accepting the silk handkerchief handed over by Old White.
Old White looked at Kael's purple-frozen palm with pity, cautiously wrapping layer after layer with the handkerchief, while saying: "Young Master, if you want to test spells next time, you should take better care of your body."
Kael didn't think much of it, but he thought it would be better not to worry the old man too much, so he smiled and said:
"Grandpa White, I've finally awakened my Incubus bloodline, I have to find a way to make my body stronger!"
"Stronger?"
"Theoretically, the more frequently a professional is exposed to the same type of unusual power during their growth, the more likely they are to develop a special constitution to resist that power during their growth."
Old White affectionately ruffled his hair, "... Theoretically?"
"Theoretically it can be done..." Kael wasn't lying to him, players in the later stages all knew, to increase the special keywords in the [Trait/Passive Column], especially Element Resistance and Element Affinity, such adaptive damage was unavoidable.
The advanced metamagic feat [Total Element Affinity]'s prerequisite passive [Elemental Affinity·Ice] was the special passive he planned to max out first.
The old housekeeper saw the stubborn look on the little master's face and sighed, "Even if you want to acquire transcendent feats, you should take better care of your body.
Preparing Special Potions in advance or getting guidance from a master with high-level feats is much better than throwing yourself headfirst into the relevant domain."
"..." Kael found himself momentarily speechless.
"Are you aiming to get[Enhanced Reflexes]or[Elemental Affinity·Ice]?" Old White asked.
Kael: "..."
Old White actually knew?
For players with game panels, they naturally knew that by simulating and acting, they could add quite a few passive keywords to themselves.
He could even potentially convert long-term passive keywords into feats.
But –
